AB Although the 2022 policy statement on breastfeeding from the American Academy of Pediatrics primarily addresses clinicians caring for pediatric patients, the Academy urges clinicians of all disciplines who may interact with breastfeeding mothers and babies to increase their understanding of breastfeeding and their ability to support this population. Studies published since the 2012 update continue to reinforce the cumulative short-term and long-term infant and maternal health benefits of breastfeeding and human milk consumption.
